“The scanner weights in at 2.3kg making it an ultra-portable solution, as well as having a trendy colour scheme of a silver/grey base and a deep blue lid. The reason the scanner is so compact and low powered is because it uses a CIS imaging scanner (Contact Image Sensors). This method of scanning uses an array of sensors located very close to the document surface, and feeds the image straight to the PC for processing, this eliminates the need for the lens, mirrors and CCD chip. The disadvantage of this process is that resolution, clarity and colour fidelity will all be sacrificed.”
